Tom Breslawski Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Why would the shingles be installed on the ridge like this? Click to Enlarge 57.96 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Because the roofer cheesed out on the last course of shingles on the right side. They scrunched the ridge shingles over in lieu of a shingle course. At least, that's what it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 What Kurt said. They should have put last course installed on the left on the right instead. That said, it's ugly but probably works OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Breslawski Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks. That's what I thought. I appreciate the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe he didn't want the ridge shingles to extend off the bottom edge of the last course on the left. It would catch the wind/tear off more easily that way. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, after inspecting the installation practices on the rest of the roof, I'm convinced that Kurt & Chad's answer is correct. Thanks for the feedback.
